Nine can’t help themselves. So many of their promotions are based on self praise or thanking the viewers for making them number one.

They do it in ads for Today even though Sunrise continues to outrate Today in overall numbers. In Sydney, the promotions for Nine’s 6pm News quote “Thank you Sydney, for making us number one” while Hot Seat will use the line “Australia’s number one game show” even if it beats rival Deal or No Deal for just one day.

Nine News continues to use lines like “See it first” and “Leading the way” – a line borrowed from Seven’s news which also subtitles “Leading the way”. Back to Hot Seat again – and you regularly see ads for the show bragging about how much money they give away.

To me, it does not matter what the prize money is on a game show, it is all about the quality of the show and whether or not the meaningless chatter exceeds actual game show content. Hot Seat only has 15 questions per episode, and sometimes, you’ll see contestant after contestant get questions wrong and endless meaningless chatter between Eddy and the contestants.

All that aside, Nine – with a great deal of help from GO – is so far for 2010 the number one network in the three major demographics – the 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54 age groups. Younger demographics are seen as more important to advertisers as younger audiences tend to be more influential, more likely to try new products, and generally have more disposable income.

Nine, of course, have wasted no time telling us this fact with this banner ad I saw in Media Week.

Seven are still the number one network in overall viewers and just behind Nine in the demographics. Ten used to be top in 16-39’s but Nine’s GO have taken a slice of that share. Ten will be the first to launch their third channel later this year, which should see their overall shares as a network increase.

Easter Entertainment For Everyone

The Easter Saturday Rugby League game between Cronulla and Parramatta, Live: NRL Sharks v Eels, on FOX Sports topped the week for subscription TV with 261,000 viewers.
